I have a problem calculating values

within my table I have 3 fields and 10 records

the first field is the SSN and the second is name and

third is a number value.

The table has duplicate SSN with number values

I want to calculate the value fields from the duplicate SSN to get a total on that SSN number

Example
00001111 Jones 50
00001111 Jones 150
I want to calculate the value field so it would be 200

Does anyone know how to do this
 
Here's some query code for you:

Code:
SELECT TableName.SSN, TableName.PersonName, Sum(TableName.ValueField) AS Total
FROM TableName GROUP BY TableName.SSN, TableName.PersonName

you'll have to tweak with table/field names.

This is called a "Totals" query.
